Furnished with period pieces and beautifully appointed. Lots of special touches and lovely decor. Beds were extra comfy and owner was very pleasant and accommodating. It is on the third floor so not great for folks with mobility issues. Otherwise we would highly recommend. ##### Loretta H. Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pardha Mithra G. Jun 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant Stay Apartment is located at the heart of the town. Walkable distance to restaurants and shops. Ambience is good and well maintained. Great choice if travelling with Family. Paintings are highlight with mid 1800 furniture. Ladies can have their portraits clicked on the chairs which are elegant. Most importantly the friendliness and warmth with which hosts John and Sven welcomed is admirable. Thank you both. Looking forward for another stay in future. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3c2ee827-86ab-4fbc-bfa3-5c8ef45d633b-1750529337125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f75d6c94-bcb6-4446-afb3-324c6667ff3e-1750529337066.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16264d91-067b-4089-bcf5-55018b2a5474-1750529337005.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pardha Mithra G.
